4 Top Benefits when you connect your access control with visitor management systems

05th October, 2023

Share with your friends
Access control systems are used to manage who has access to a building, room, or other physical space. They typically use a variety of authentication methods, such as passwords, PINs, RFID cards, or biometrics, to determine whether someone is authorised to enter. Visitor management systems (VMS) are software solutions that help businesses streamline and automate the visitor check-in process. VMS typically collect visitor information such as name, contact information, purpose of visit, and host information. This information can then be used to generate reports, track visitor activity, and improve security. They are also used to capature the presence of everyone entering your site to know exactly who in on site in the event of an evacuation.

There are several benefits to connecting your access control system with your visitor and employee management system in your business:

  • Improved security: By integrating these systems, you can ensure that only authorised people have access to your building and sensitive areas. For example, you can automatically grant visitors access to specific areas based on their purpose for visiting. You can also use your access control system to track visitor activity and identify any suspicious behavior.
  • Increased efficiency: A connected access control system can streamline the visitor check-in process and make it easier for employees to access the building and their workspaces. For example, visitors can use their smartphones to check in and receive a digital badge that they can use to access the building. Employees can also use their smartphones to badge in and out of the building, which can save time and hassle. Features like this are avaialble with Brivo access control cloud based software.
  • Enhanced data security: By integrating these systems, you can centralise your data and make it easier to manage and protect. For example, you can use a single system to track visitor and employee information, access history, and security incidents. This can help you to identify and respond to security threats more quickly.
  • Compliance: Many industries are required to comply with specific security regulations. By integrating your access control system with your visitor and employee management system, you can make it easier to meet these compliance requirements. For example, you can use your system to track visitor and employee access to sensitive areas and generate reports for auditors.

Here are some specific examples of how connecting your access control system with your visitor and employee management system can benefit your business:

  • Prevent unauthorised access: If a visitor arrives at your building and is not pre-approved, the visitor management system can automatically deny them access. This can help to prevent unauthorised people from entering your building and accessing sensitive areas.
  • Track visitor activity: When a visitor signs in using the visitor management system, their badge can be used to track their movements throughout the building. This can help you to ensure that visitors are only accessing the areas where they are authorised to be.
  • Manage employee access: The access control system can be used to manage employee access to different areas of the building and to sensitive systems. This can help to protect your company’s confidential information and assets.
  • Generate reports: The integrated system can generate reports on visitor and employee access, security incidents, and other relevant data. This information can be used to identify and address security threats and to improve your overall security posture.

2 reasons you should not use your access control system for evacuation reporting
20th Oct, 2014
Natalie Fort

Access control systems are often used for evacuation reporting and employee sign in and sign out for time and attendance.  I have seen over the years access control systems set up in businesses for time and attendance where employees need to swipe one device for IN and one device for OUT. This same information is then used for a rudimentary evacuation report. The evacuation report will only have employees in this instance. Another common situation you can see in many businesses is where the door access control system is used […]
